Community Rating: Liked

Caprylyl Glycol is a humectant and emollient, meaning it attracts and preserves moisture.

It is a common ingredient in many products, especially those designed to hydrate skin. The primary benefits are retaining moisture, skin softening, and promoting a healthy skin barrier.

Though Caprylyl Glycol is an alcohol derived from fatty acids, it is not the kind that can dry out skin.

This ingredient is also used as a preservative to extend the life of products. It has slight antimicrobial properties.

Good First Cleansing Balm
This cleansing balm is effective at removing waterproof mascara and sunscreen. However, it can slightly sting the eyes when removing make up and does not emulsify after water is added. You must use a second cleanser to fully rinse away the oiling feeling.

I recently tried this cleansing balm after seeing it at Target, thinking it would be a cost-effective option. Unfortunately, after just three days, I experienced increasing discomfort, even some stinging. The irritation worsened, affecting products that used to be fine for my skin. The aftermath is a noticeable rosy hue on my cheeks that I now need to address. As someone with medium skin coloring, makeup can't even conceal it. I wouldn't recommend this product, and I've decided against passing it on to my sister to spare her from potential pain. The smell was nice. I like the consistency but that’s about it. Thank goodness for a generous return policy because this is a never again for me.

My sensitive, acne prone skin loves this product - 2 pumps into hands and massage into dry face and anywhere else that spf was applied to that morning. Leaves skin feeling soft, rinses off easily without leaving residue, NO irritation. Used it every night for 3 months now, and I have a quarter of the bottle left still, so don't be put off by the slightly higher price!
